• How to increase the amount of memory to the host system?

  Hello gentlemen,

  I am new to VMware ESXi 5, and I want to know how to increase the amount of memory for the host system?

  I saw in the Configuration menu of the host, my ESXi host has only 77.3 MB. I think it's wrong, it's too little amount of memory dedicated to the host system. It is not a (Properties) button after I was able to change the amount of memory host system.

  Please, be so kind, help me!

  Thanks in advance!

  Welcome to the community,

  where do you see this amount of memory?

  The total amount of memory installed on the host can be seen in the summary, tab (resources) with the host country is selected in the inventory.

• Shared behavior of the virtual machine on the host system shutdown

  Shared behavior of the virtual machine on the host system shutdown

  Greetings,

  I installed WIn7 - 64 bit host system, WS8 and there seems to be a very nice and high quality configuration. I am very happy.

  There is a shared VM and it's a Setup 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 Server functioning as a base configuration LAMP for some basic web applications, etc..

  I was unable to find the settings to control the behavior of the VM shared with the system that hosts stop. When I stop the host system, I believe that the common VM is off tension or stop gracefully, I don't know who. What I like best is for the shared VM will not apply instead. The reason is that starting the virtual machine is a bit complicated and requires manual intervention. Whereas, if it is stopped since a State suspended without manual intervention is necessary.

  I found that if there is a loss of power, I can hibernate the host system in time before my battery runs out. Resuming the host hibernate system works correctly and the VM shared within WS8 is back to its previous functional State.

  It would be nice and helpful being able to stop or restart the host system and know that the shared virtual machine has been automatically suspended. So now I have to log on to the user account from the host system and open WS8 and manually suspend the virtual machine before you stop or restart the host system.

  Is there a way to have the shared VM automatically suspended when the host system is stop?

  Thank you for your time and attention.

  You can configure the stop action by editing the following file:

  %ProgramData%\VMware\hostd\vmAutoStart.XML

  If you want to configure the action stop for all virtual machines, find the section of under the section. Change it on hold

  If you want to change the action stop for only this one machine virtual, you must first configure this shared VM to be started automatically (in WS, right-click on the item 'VMs shared' in the library, select "manage computers virtual auto-start '). After doing this, manually change the vmAutoStart.xml. Find the entry for the virtual machine in the section (if you have more than one computer configured to autostart virtual, it will take some more digging to understand what VM to change). Change the entry for this virtual machine to hang.

  Save the file. Reboot the host (not auto-start power actions are only made when the host is restarted). Now when stop you the host, WS should suspend the VM (s)

  As always, manually edit the configuration files is not considered supported its use. Save the file before you edit. Adjust at your own risk.

• VMware tools take it apart or modify the parameters of CD-Rom via PowerCLI

  Hello

  My problem:

  After the upgrade invited on Redhat Linux vmware tools vmware tools remain in the properties of the vm.

  I mean that the device vm: CD-Rom drive is configured to store data-ISO file [/vmimages/tools-isoimages/linux.iso]

  The CD-ROM drive is not connected!

  I can't Vmotion of such systems.

  Is there a way to define the type of device clientcdrom to 'clientdevice' via PowerCLI?

  I checked some commands powercli: set-cddrive, dismount-tools

  
  

  With the powerclie cmd:

  Get - vm GuestName | Get-cddrive

  I am able to locate systems that have the problem.

  Output:

  IsoPath RemoteDevice HostDevice
  -------              ----------                             ------------
  [] / vmimages/tool...

  Via Vsphere Client, I am able to change the iso data store config in clientdevice.

  and change the mode to emulate ide to ide pathtrough (recommended)

  -> A chip solution would be to automate tasks via powercli this 2.

  Has anyone automated this 2 tasks via powercli

  Hi, George,

  I think NoMedia - Set-CDDrive switch, it's what you need - it Peel host device or iso file.

  Get - VM | Get-CDDrive. Game-CDDrive - NoMedia-confirm: $false

• Help, I changed the password of root ESXi via powerCli, now I can not connect with the web client or the console.

  Help, I've changed the root ESXi via powerCli password, now I can not connect with the web client or the console, but I can still connect to powerCli. The command I used was;

  SE connect-VIServer esxihostname-user root - password newpasswd

  This production network btw, I have connected to each host and run the above command, these ESXi hosts are not on a domain

  y at - it something I have left out. I really appreciate any assistance that you people can provide.

  Thank you, Joe

  It is probably a longshot, but a lot of things in the land of windows is not sensitive to capital letters as Unix is.  I wonder if your new password you put through powerCLI mixed uppercase in it and if the capitalization was abandoned by command windows powerCLI Analyzer, or he interpreted as all capitals or something.   If you can still get through the powerCLI you could try to reset the password again to something simple without capitalization mixed case and if your password on ESXi strategy requires a special character, try something different than a "$", like a "_" (I find that a '_' is less likely than some other special characters (, as a '-' or a ' / ' to cause problems with analyzers.).

  Edit:

  Another thing, you can try before playing with the password once again, is to create a different username ESXi using powerCLI and see if the password ends up what you think, it should be, and if you can get with the client vsphere using it.  In this way, you can find out if there are some problems with certain characters or Cap through command powerCLI Analyzer without losing your remaining root by powerCLI access.  After some tests, you can understand what went wrong with your initial password change and may be able to fix it with less risk of losing access.  I also assume that you can not create a new username on ESXi who is able to change the root password no matter what authority give you it, otherwise, you could create a new username with PowerCLI, then connect to the client vsphere with it and change the password to root from there.

• ESXi on the host system with a physical restriction of the MAC

  Hi all!

  We have installed on a host system, located in the data center with restriction of MAC on a physical map of ESXi.

  Earlier, we have VMWare Server 2 with bridged network, it was not a problem.

  All virtual servers is accessible via port forwarding.

  About ESXi I can't found any solution to create the bridged network.

  Please give me a tip on how to solve this problem.

  Create a vswitch with no physical cards.  To connect VM to that (and a management vmkernel ESXi).

  Next, install a virtual firewall as vyatta connected to the vswitch isolated and the default vswitch with the physical card.  Then configure port forwarding rules as required.

• Fully automate the addition of a datasoter via PowerCLI

  I have a need to be able to completely automate the addition of a new data store to a new installation of ESXi via powerCLI.  My problem is I want to have this fully automated and be able to enforce it against any box without user intervention, which means that I need a way to return the CNAME of the ScsiLun in new-store data command.

  I am currently using the command to run my action you want below, but for some reason, it does not.

  $con = get-ScsiLun | Select-object CanonicalName

  New data store - VMHost 192.168.1.1 - name newDS-path $con - Vmfs - BlockSizeMB 1

  The above returns the above error

  Although below works very well.

  new data store - VMHost 192.168.1.1 - name dvms-path naa.600508b10010395659503152424f0100 - Vmfs - BlockSizeMB 1

  I also tired the Deputy bud did not work

  $test = get-datastore. Select-Object - 1 first

  new data store - VMHost 192.168.1.1 - name dvms-path $test - Vmfs - BlockSizeMB 1

  Help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  The Select-Object cmdlet does not return the name of the LUN as a string, but as a ScsiLunImpl object.

  The New-Datatsore cmdlet requires a string for the - Path parameter.

  You can do

  $con = (Get-ScsiLun).CanonicalName
  New-Datastore -VMHost 192.168.1.1 -Name newDS -Path $con -Vmfs -BlockSizeMB 1

• After a while, Windows XP Mode destroyed the host network resources contact

  Hello

  Machine: HP Z210 Workstation, Windows 7 64-bit, 8 GB of RAM
  Network: Mixed wired and wireless, D-Link
  I use an old program in Windows XP Mode (Virtual PC). It works very well. We have set up a network printer, thanks to a shared printer on the host OS (Win7) and a folder mapped to the host computer. Anything that works. BTW, we use the shared printer to the impression of speed.
  However, after a few days of use, XP mode is more able to access shared resources on the host machine. So it cannot print. He cannot access the mapped drive.  Internet still works.
  I tried to turn on and off turning off the firewall and by reactivating the network adapters, update the drivers on both ends and reduce safety on the Win7 sharing. None of that helped him. XP restarting does not help. However, if I restart the host machine, everything works again.
  I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
  Thank you
  James

• Run the package in Guest remotely via PowerCLI

  Hi all

  I'm sure that I came across a script that can run a batch file in Windows remote clients using PowerCLI, but for the life of me I can't find it.

  I have 4 Windows VMS, who have the same connection credentials, they have a test.bat file in the same place, I need a way to execute commands remotely via PowerCLI simultaneously, is - it possible?

  It seems that the sqlio command is not found. May be that the directory is not in the Path variable in this OS.

  Try again with the full path to the executable sqlio.

  Hello, MrVmware9423-

  It seems that this may have to do with the .NET Framework is installed on the computer on which you run PowerShell/PowerCLI.  Take a look at http://communities.vmware.com/message/2174319 - users have been able to solve the problem with a newer version of the .NET Framework (v2, installed v3.5 - success).

  Because your problem seem (you use a? 2 version of .NET, and you're able to install a newer version)?

• IOUtilities gives me an exception of the file system resources

  I wrote an application to analyze lyric, the premiere, I use IOUtilities.streamToBytes to convert the integer to a byte [] and crawled, but after reviewing some files (7-10), I got an error of 'Resource file system', I don't know why it happens, here is the code.

  private void parseFile(FileConnection LRC) throws IOException {
  
      byte[] LRC_byte = IOUtilities.streamToBytes(LRC.openInputStream());
      LRC.close();
  
      if (LRC_byte.length < 10) {
          // not valid
          return;
      }
  
      String encoding = DEFAULT_ENCODING;
  
      if ((LRC_byte[0] == -2) && (LRC_byte[1] == -1)) {
          encoding = "UTF-16LE";
      } else if ((LRC_byte[0] == -1) && (LRC_byte[0] == -2)) {
          encoding = "UTF-16BE";
      } else if ((LRC_byte[0] == (byte) 0xEF) && (LRC_byte[1] == (byte) 0xBB)
              && (LRC_byte[2] == (byte) 0xBF)) {
          encoding = "UTF-8";
      }
  
      //
      // Do someting...
      //
  }
  

  But after I change the IOUtilities.streamToBytes of inputstream, below is the code

  private void parseFile(FileConnection LRC) throws IOException {
  
      InputStream input = LRC.openInputStream();
      input.mark(3);
      byte[] encode = new byte[3];
      input.read(encode);
      input.reset();
  
      String encoding = DEFAULT_ENCODE;
  
      if ((encode[0] == -2) && (encode[1] == -1)) {
          encoding = "UTF-16LE";
      } else if ((encode[0] == -1) && (encode[1] == -2)) {
          encoding = "UTF-16BE";
      } else if ((encode[0] == (byte) 0xEF) && (encode[1] == (byte) 0xBB)
              && (encode[2] == (byte) 0xBF)) {
          encoding = "UTF-8";
      }
  
      //
      // Do someting...
      //
  
      input.close();
      LRC.close();
  }
  

  Now, everything works fine, I really donnot know why version 1 do not work, but version 2 works fine.

  Why? What is the problem with the first version? It takes a day to find it.

  It seems that you do not close the input stream in the first version of the code. Maybe it's the reason.

• the other hard drive to the host system does not show in the virtual machine

  I tried but I couldn't find an article on how to get the other host hard disk appears in the my window of the computer of the VM guest.  I don't want a virtual disk or anything like that, just access the other hard disk of the local host without having to map a drive to it if possible.  Thank you!

  Physical disks are not supported on VMware Server 2 (at least not via GUI options).
